Trip of a life time
We booked an eight day/seven night safari package to Kenya with Sunset Adventures. From the very beginning the communication with Emmanuel was flawless. He put together an initial itinerary for us and then provided us with suggestions and improvements which would make more effective use of our time and cut down on travel times.
He responded quickly to emails and nothing was too much trouble. He arranged for his representative to meet us at our hotel in Nairobi and we were then introduced to our driver/guide. He was a very experienced guide and gave us a lot of information throughout our trip. He tailored the day and the game drives to suit our needs and ensure we saw a huge variety of animals.
The accommodation we stayed at was very clean and comfortable and the variety of food served and the service of the staff was excellent.
We stayed at three lodges and two tented accommodations. One of the tented camps was absolutely stunning and the other offered a watering hole where we witnessed a herd of elephants and two lions.
I would highly recommend using Sunset Adventures as we had the most amazing experience with them from start to finish.

A once in a lifetime experience
Communication from the start was fantastic, with the tour operator answering many questions through WhatsApp very quickly and promptly. We also were welcomed at the airport and taken to our hotel, the company were flexible and looked after us well. We chose the mix accommodation tour and I think it gave a great introduction to an African Safari.
We saw many animals, the big highlight being a leopard in the Serengeti. We also spotted Cheetah, Honey Badgers, Hippos etc… it was a fantastic experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and was always on hand to answer any questions. As the roads can be quite bumpy, he was also quick to fix any problems with the vehicle.
Food provided was good and we really liked the fridge in the back of the jeep to provide drinking water and even alcohol, this was a really nice touch.
I can’t praise our guide enough for finding us a leopard in the Serengeti so thanks again for being patient and knowing the territory of the leopard, this meant we waited in the exact right spot it ended up walking past!
Thank you for an unreal experience!

We had a great time!
We had such a good time with Ramja Safaris! They were really responsive whenever we had questions or requests, which made everything super easy.
Our guide, Patrick, was amazing and seriously good at spotting animals (we saw way more than we expected!).
Overall, it was a smooth and memorable trip. Would definitely recommend them if you’re planning a safari!

The Quintessential Safari Experience for a Couple
As a couple, we did a private 7 day trip with 5 days on safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and only wish that we had more time to spend with Safari Soles! We loved every minute of the trip. Tons of wildlife sightings including large herds of elephants, prides of lions and their cubs, cheetahs, the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras and so much more. Our safari guide Jonathon (Jonas) was knowledgeable, informative, welcoming and simply a very enjoyable person to spend time with. He truly was the perfect safari guide and ambassador for Tanzania. Everyone at Safari Soles was incredibly friendly and helpful, from the time of enquiry all the way through the end of the trip. Very easy to book and work with. All the accommodations arranged by them were top notch. It was a very hassle free trip. We got to sit back and enjoy the beautiful wonders of Tanzania. We’ve been on many trips together around the world and this was easily one of our favorites, many thanks to Safari Soles.

Peak Season Safari have been faultless in organising our vacation.
Fredrick endured 18 months of messages to build our itinerary.
He advised us all the way through ensuring we were not disappointed. Fredrick’s advice was highly valuable and did not disappoint.
Every part of our vacation was perfect and where there were doubts, Fredrick was only a message or call away to put things right.
Our accommodation and drivers were faultless.
Without doubt I would highly recommend Peak Season Africa Safaris.

Everything was perfect! We had so much fun!
It was all so nice! Driver and tour guide were so great with us! All of the services were done like top ranged ones! Even tho the company was new we were provided the best possible care for us! Value for money was also good! ☺️
I recommend 10/10 Ellion Safari Tours!
Outstanding in all areas
From itinerary planning, superb communication before during and after our trip, smooth transportation connections , selection of safari camps and hotels, and especially the knowledgeable and engaging tour guides Garth in Cape Town and Dave in Joburg
Kudos to Mango for his savvy in getting us quickly across the usually chaotic Zimbabwe-Zambia border crossing 4 times!

Avoid it at any time
I am sharing my experience transparently, as I believe it's important for others considering this tour operator.
For a 7-day safari, I paid over $9000 USD. Based on my experience, I felt the value received was significantly below what I anticipated, making it a deeply disappointing trip.
As an experienced traveler who has visited over 60 countries, this particular journey stands out as my most challenging and unsatisfactory travel experience to date. My personal belief, given what occurred, is that I was misled regarding the quality of the service.
Based on my personal experience, I would strongly caution others to thoroughly research and consider alternatives before booking.
I am available to provide further details that could potentially assist others in making informed decisions.
Sincerely,
François

Tour guides that really care!
I would highly recommend Viva Safari’s! The staff is super friendly and communicates well with any needs that may arise. The tour guides worked really hard to get as many animal sightings as possible.

Ronnie King and Patrick Kataama were hospitable, knowledgeable, accommodating and FUN!
Ronnie King and Patrick Kataama were our tour guides. Both went out of their way to be wonderful hosts.
Accommodations were clean, laundry service was available at a few places. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner were provided daily. There was always guidance and answers to any questions we had. We always felt safe and their recommendations were spot on. Seeing the Golden Monkeys, Chimpanzees and Gorillas in their natural habitat was an experience like no other! I look forward to next time I'm on another adventure in Uganda to use Eco Adventure Safaris!
